One of the Linux programmers that works with me mentioned this software to me.
Not sure if it relevant, just thought I'd share it with you good people.

Yep. Been mentioned a few times on here, I think. I'm certainly aware of it. Looks okay, but I've never used it though.

MythTV is an interesting project, though from what I have seen the user interface does have the usual user interface designed by programmers and not user interface specialists problem.
